Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Oh and one big thing here is that all this is absolutely a smoke screen for the capitalist class.
They have now kept this culture war stuff on the front page since the election. Meanwhile they have already given a huge handout to the richest in this country by adjusting taxation on investments. This however isn't outrage worthy and is more complicated so nobody talks about that.
Same with the absolutely crushing long list of cuts they are pushing to the most fundamental workers rights.
The progressives and libs are all busy doing anti-fascist marching and being deeply outraged by the racism and at the same time we are getting deeply screwed. A lot of "the poors voted wrong" discourse as well. Also people being worried about our "country brand" with zero awareness of where that sort of discourse comes from. Finland Incorporated is where we live.
Personally am pretty exhausted by it. Everyone believes that if we had just kept the neolibs at the helm, none of this would happen. They forget how all the covid support went to capitalists, how covid protection was dropped as soon as investment said no. How our healthcare system has been steadily collapsing for decades regardless of who the talking heads are. The Left party voted for nato here and is fully a capitalist party that does social justice, all forms of class consciousness is just gone.
